I stepped on the scale first thing this morning. After the initial shock, I thought, it’s a good thing I finally got around to doing this. What if I did’t take control. Where would I be in another 6 months? But now I am going to start taking control, so 6 months down the road will be a different story than it could have been. I’m glad for that.
I haven’t set any goals yet. I need to figure out a good healthy weight for me. I know I felt great when I was down around 130, but that was a couple decades ago LOL! I don’t think I’ll go that low now. I’m thinking more around the 140 – 150 range. I’m in my mid 40’s and I’m 5′7″. I don’t know if age makes any difference in what my goal weight should be though.

Big hugs to you for posting your weight! I think it must add extra accountability to your weight loss program to help you stick with it better. I know I am scared to post my own weight, it’s pretty high. I am envious of your 268!
I will pot my own weight one of these days

Thank you! Ohmygosh! When you decide to post your weight, you’ll be amazed at how motivating it is!
I was out and about visiting my neighbors in the fatblogger world this week, and that’s where I got up the courage. I see how it’s worked for others, so I took the plunge and did it. I can’t wait to see my #’s drop each week!
Oh… and I’m so addicted to the scale it’s shameful! I stepped on it several times since yesterday morning lol
Thanks again for the encouragement!
